About the Author:
"This is a book of lasting value by the acknowledged expert. I urge purchase and that the third volume appear before 2010 AD."--Religious Studies Review
"...a wide range of topics to daunt the spirits of all but the most erudite and perceptive commentator. But that is just what Brian Bosworth is, and the results of his labours do not disappoint. Bosworth's Commentary serves as an excellent guide to Arrian's work and other sources, in particular, and for the history of Alexander in general. To call it indispensable is to state the obvious."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review
A. B. Bosworth is at University of Western Australia.
